Electric wheelchairs
When we were about 15-16 one of the first year kids at school had Spina Bifida. He was in a pretty bad way and had an electric wheelchair to be able to get around school. The switch to it was on the back. What else were we to do? He couldn't get out of his chair to switch it back on...
Once he was stuck in the Science corridor for about half an hour before someone found him.
Yes, I feel bad.

» What's the hardest you've tried to get dumped?
Truck
In hindsight this was very childish. I drew a picture of a dumper truck with a speech bubble saying "dumper dumper dumper" and put it in her bag. She didn't get the message and came to see me the next day at home which led me to have to break the news the conventional way.

» Workplace Boredom
Opticians
I used to work at a very reputable high street Opticians part time as a student.
This isn't a comical or outrageous story.
Put simply, we were (are still) told to sell thinner more expensive lenses to anyone and everyone despite whether they are needed or not as a way of bumping up the figures.
As a bit of advice to glasses wearing B3tians, if your prescription isn't higher than -2.00 (or +1.50 if you are long sighted) you don't need thinner lenses. Tell the thief sitting opposite you you're not a walking piggy bank.
Do however always have the Anti-reflection coating. It makes them look better.
Sorry for being boring, just thought I'd save someone a few quid.

» Thrown away: The stuff you loved and lost.

I once had an "x-rated" issue of Panther Vs Vampirella, something thats impossible to get hold of again. My mother threw it out. I thus cried.

Bonus
I was helping clear out a house the other day and there was a huge metal thing in the shed. I had the idea that it might be worth something to someone. Cue almost putting my back out getting it into my car, it was very heavy. I took it to the scrapyards and was rewarded £20 for the copper in it. Huzzah!
